Aha! Did you see this flyer that quite clearly shows the “Swift Boat” assholes in bed with a Bush/Cheney committee?
Not enough? Take a look at the pictures of this flyer displayed in a Bush/Cheney office down in Florida.
The simple fact is that George W. Bush – who avoided service in Vietnam – has made a habit of using so-called “independent” groups to besmirch the records of real war heroes. CBS reported in May that the “The [May, 2004 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth] press conference was set up by the same people who tried to discredit John McCain when McCain faced George W. Bush for the Republican nomination in 2000.” And in 2002, war hero and triple amputee Max Cleland was compared to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein by another “independent” group, without a word of complaint from his Republican opponent. (Ann Coulter continued to smear Cleland for the GOP through 2004.)
